Southwestern Corn & Black Bean Salad

Here's a great make-ahead salad or side dish--and leftovers are welcome for lunch the next day. If you make it ahead, don't add the salt and pepper until just before serving. That way, the salt won't render the vegetables soggy and the pepper won't lose its bite. Scoop up this salad with warm corn tortillas.

Tuscan-Style Tuna Salad

This streamlined version of a northern Italian idea is perfect for a summer evening: no-fuss, no-cook and big taste. You can even make it ahead and store it, covered, in the refrigerator for several days. If you do, use it as a wrap filling for the next day's lunch.

Low Carb. Miracle Brownies

These Brownies are exactly the texture of "regular" brownies, with none of the glycemic effect that's the "miracle" part.

How To Make a Frittata

A frittata is an egg dish made mainly on the stove, easier than omelets, and can be vehicles for almost any veggies, cheeses, or meats you happen to have around.

Low Carb Ranch Style Cole Slaw

This Cole slaw is great with barbecue or any grilled food. The cold creaminess is great up against hot BBQ spices.

Raspberry Vanilla Cream

It's not cold enough to be ice cream, but it's a similar consistency as soft-serve ice cream. It's deluxe with a sprinkling of macadamia nuts. Good for breakfast, too!

Low Carb. Focaccia -Style Flax Bread

I call this "focaccia" because it is baked in that style -- flat on a sheet pan, and then cut up into whatever sized pieces you want. It works for toast and sandwiches,. It is "rough" in texture like heavy whole grain breads. Since it isn't made with wheat, it doesn't have the same kind of grain as wheat breads, but the carb in flax is almost all fiber. Flax is very useful on a low carb diet, as well as being amazingly good for you.
